Rob Belgeri at “Social Media Platform Migration.” Facebook. The last presidential debate I watched was between Bush I and Dukakis. Bush’s unctuousness and lies flattened Dukakis’s policy wonk lack of dynamism. I tapped out after 5-10 minutes. These are not debates. They are junior high gotchya sessions. The one who plays by Marquise of Queensbury […]
From The No Good Deed Files – Digby’s Hullabaloo (digbysblog.net) Jim Tankersley @ The NY Times reports (Italicized quotes) the Biden administration has pulled off an amazing success in some places that will never reward him for it: America’s so-called “left behind” counties — the once-great manufacturing centers and other distressed places that struggled mightily at […]
Yeah, Biden is old. He walks slow. He has a speech impediment. He moves too fast in answering lies and ignorance. etc. Due to all of this, we ignore the stench in the room call trump. And you all appear to believe trump is eligible to be the president despite his past actions and his […]
Since the 2022 Dobbs decision, 21 states have restricted abortions earlier than the Roe v. Wade standard.

by Robert Gundran The Copper Courier I was not expecting to see a turnout as large as this one in Arizona as mentioned below in The Copper Courier. In April, the Arizona Supreme Court upheld an 1864 law, which carries with it a mandatory prison sentence for doctors who provide an abortion for any reason other […]
The title is mine. I am wondering why Democrats are so willing to self-destruct. Here we are again, shades of 2016. Some claiming they will vote for others, the Greens, Libertarians, Socialists, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, the family dog, etc. Do we hear much from the Republican constituents about Trump’s very apparent idiosyncrasies? Rare and […]
I was unable to get all of a candidate’s healthcare policies in one place in some cases. You will see where I said so as stated “More on . . .” If you need the entire list for a candidate or both, I have included the links to the article and on each where the […]
Fresh off Robert’s substack. I do not believe he likes me too much as I am all over everything said from time to time. I do not get the “friends” bit either. With Trump, this is war and he has to go. Some of his supporters will be disappointed when he turns on them. Meanwhile […]
